Singh Aman - PeerSpot reviewer
Generative AI Engineer at Tata Consultancy
Have improved project workflows using faster response times and reduced data embedding costs
One thing that Cohere can improve is related to some distances when I am trying similarity search. Let's suppose I have provided textual data that has been embedded. I have to use some extra process from numpy after embedding the model. In the case of OpenAI embedding models, I do not have to use that extra process, and they provide lower distances compared to my results from Cohere. I was getting distances of approximately 0.005 sometimes, but in the case of Cohere, I was getting distances around 0.5 or sometimes more than that. I think that can be improved. It was possibly because of some configuration or the way I was using it, but I am not exactly sure about that.

Developed and deployed AI agents through a unified platform that supports integration with enterprise systems
We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models. We have to do some fine-tuning, hyperparameter optimization, and other optimizations to enhance the performance of the AI models. We are not fully leveraging the automation being provided by Google Vertex AI for building AI models. Google Vertex AI has to be enhanced to support agentic AI system development. AI agents have to be developed through Google Vertex AI. Additionally, RAG support, vector database support, knowledge graph support, integration with enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, PLM, MES, and other enterprise systems need improvement. Automated workflow generation and automation could also be enhanced. At this point, we are completely satisfied with the features and functionalities of Google Vertex AI platform, but as we move towards autonomous systems through agentic AI paradigm, Google Vertex AI platform needs to be improved to facilitate agentic AI system design, development, deployment, monitoring, observability, governance, and security.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best feature Cohere offers is the Reranking model."
"A key advantage of integrating Cohere’s reranking model is that it aligns with client requests to include a reranking module — a widely recognized method for improving RAG quality. Additionally, the API demonstrates strong performance in terms of response speed."
"Cohere's Embed English v3.0 is a cloud-hosted model that took less time to embed the textual data and was more than 50 to 60% faster than other models, even somewhat faster than text-embedding-3 from OpenAI, helping to reduce development and embedding times."
"Cohere has helped my organization innovate and stay ahead in our industry as Cohere was better than Titan, and it helped us to secure the client's confidence and we moved from proof of concept to production."
"Cohere has positively impacted my organization by helping our customers work more efficiently when creating requests, and the embedding results are of very high quality."
"Speed has helped me in my day-to-day work, and I really notice the difference because it responds very quickly to LLM requests."
"The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team, because they're really available on Discord and they answer all of your questions."
"Cohere helped us with all three aspects: money is saved, time is saved, and we needed fewer resources to meet our end goals."
"Google Vertex AI is better for deployment, configuration, delivery, licensing, and integration compared to other AI platforms."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is quite flexible, and some of the services are almost low-code, with no-code services, so it gives agents flexibility to build the use cases according to the operational needs."
"With just one single platform, Google Vertex AI platform, we can achieve everything; we need not switch over to multiple tools, multiple platforms, as everything can be accomplished through this one single platform for integration with existing workflows, systems, tools, and databases."
"Vertex AI possesses multiple libraries, so it eliminates the need for extensive coding."
"Vertex comes with inbuilt integration with GCP for data storage."
"The support is perfect and fantastic."
"The features I have found most valuable in Google Vertex AI are Gemini's large language models, which are currently among the best, and the vision tool of Gemini, which I consider quite good."
"It provides the most valuable external analytics."
 

Cons

"Cohere can be improved by having more integrations beyond its current offerings with Amazon."
"Cohere could improve in areas where the command model is not as creative as some larger LLMs available in the market, which is expected but noticeable in open-ended generative tasks."
"The documentation and support could be improved, as there is limited documentation available on the web."
"I have not observed any measurable benefits or return on investment with Cohere."
"Cohere has text generation. I think it is mainly focused on AI search. If there was a way to combine the searches with images, I think it would be nice to include that."
"It's challenging for us to make a conclusion about quality enhancement by using reranking models, as solid evaluation methodology for reranking is still immature."
"I believe Cohere can be improved technically by providing more feedback, logs, and metrics for embedding requests, as it currently appears to be a black box without any understanding of quality."
"When performing similarity matching between text descriptions and the catalog descriptions created using Cohere, the matching could be improved."
"It is not completely mature and needs some features and functions. The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"I believe that Vertex AI is a robust platform, but its effectiveness depends significantly on the domain knowledge of the developer using it. While Vertex AI does offer support through the console UI in the Google Cloud environment, it is better suited for technical members who have a deeper understanding of machine learning concepts. The platform may be challenging for business process developers (BPDUs) who lack extensive technical knowledge, as it involves intricate customization and handling numerous parameters. Effectively utilizing Vertex AI requires not only familiarity with machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch but also a proficiency in Python programming. The complexity of these requirements might pose challenges for less technically oriented users, making it crucial to have a solid foundation in both machine learning principles and Python coding to extract the full value from Vertex AI. It would be beneficial to have a streamlined process where we can leverage the capabilities of Vertex AI directly through the BigQuery UI. This could involve functionalities such as creating machine learning models within the BigQuery UI, providing a more user-friendly and integrated experience. This would allow users to access and analyze data from BigQuery while simultaneously utilizing Vertex AI to build machine learning models, fostering a more cohesive and efficient workflow."
"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."
"The solution is stable, but it is quite slow. Maybe my data is too large, but I think that Google could improve Vertex AI's training time."
"It would be beneficial to have certain features included in the future, such as image generators and text-to-speech solutions."
"Google Vertex AI is quite complex to navigate and to start services with, as I need to do a lot of iterations to finally activate the services, which is one major flaw, although it is powerful."
"I've noticed that using chat activity often presents a broader range of options and insights for a well-constructed question. Improving the knowledge base could be a key aspect for enhancement—expanding the information sources to enhance the generation process."
"Both major systems, Azure and Google, are not yet stabilized, especially their customer support."
